Picking Up Your Cake

All cakes must be picked up at Hands On Design Cakes located at 206 N. Greenville Ave., Suite 750, Allen, TX. We are located behind the KFC on the northeast corner of Main/Greenville, one mile east of the Central Expwy. and McDermott Road exit. Our summer hours are Mon. - Tues. by appt. only for cake pickups, Weds.-Thurs. 10am-5pm, Friday 10am - 7pm, Saturday 9:30am - 5pm and Sunday 10am - 12:30pm for cake pickups.

Keep this in mind when picking up your custom cake:

• During hot months, your vehicle MUST be air conditioned.

• Please have a large, FLAT area available to transport the cake. Transporting on a soft, angled car seat can crack the frosting due to bouncing and bending the cake board.

• 3-D and tiered cakes are especially fragile for transport and REQUIRE a flat surface (many front floorboards are not flat and many back floorboards are not big enough).

• When using any cake stands, cake toppers or figurines borrowed from Hands On Design you will need to leave a deposit for the value of the item. THE CLIENT IS EXPECTED TO RETURN the equipment to Hands On Design within a timely fashion or the deposit will be kept and the item will be replaced.

• Hands On Design IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for cakes once they have been picked up.
